Sir,
If you want to come across as making a legitimate or objective critique, may I recommend you deal with all of Jesus’s teachings and words about prayer and ajs ing him for things, not just those that you perceive establish this supposed difficulty… i.e., consider all his actions, words, and teachings regarding prayer, or how he responded when people asked him for something, to give context to how the original hearers (not to mention us readers) would have understood all his teachings on the topic in context as a whole,
I am terribly critical of any Christian that “cherry picks” the verses they want in order to support some favored position, while conveniently ignoring those other passages that would qualify, clarify, or otherwise inform their chosen favorite passages. Similarly, we will be extremely dubious of the intent or motive of any skeptic who similarly cherry picks only those verses that appear to support a purported difficulty, while conveniently ignoring any and all other words of Jesus that would further clarify, qualify, or otherwise bring context to his whole teaching or perspective on some topic.
If you are genuinely interested in what Jesus taught about prayer, or about whether he intended to communicate that he would - without qualification or limit whatsoever - give anyone absolutely anything they ask for without any limit, you may want to add to your larger consideration some of his words, teachings, or examples from the scriptures that could inform, qualify or clarify those you prefer to cherry pick…
“when you pray, say… ‘your will be done.’”
“not my will, but yours be done.”
“if two of you agree on earth about anything they ask, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven.”
Teacher, we want you to do for us whatever we ask of you.” And he said to them, “What do you want me to do for you?” And they said to him, “Grant us to sit, one at your right hand and one at your left, in your glory.” … “to sit at my right hand or at my left is not mine to grant.”
And the Pharisees and Sadducees came, and to test him they asked him to show them a sign from heaven… An evil and adulterous generation seeks for a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah.” So he left them and departed.
And when his disciples James and John saw it, they said, “Lord, do you want us to tell fire to come down from heaven and consume them?” But he turned and rebuked them.
Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Tell her then to help me.” But the Lord answered her, “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things, but one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the good portion, which will not be taken away from her.”
the chief priests and the scribes with the elders came up and said to him, “Tell us by what authority you do these things, or who it is that gave you this authority.”… And Jesus said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.”
Someone in the crowd said to him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.” But he said to him, “Man, who made me a judge or arbitrator over you?”
As Jesus was getting into the boat, the man who had been demon-possessed begged to go with him. Jesus did not let him, but said, “Go home to your family and tell them how much the Lord has done for you…"
It is also (or should be) thanksgiving and praise.
